On the globe a huge number of the animals living in water on the earth and in air. Scientists counted nearly two million different types of animals. All of them are absolutely different, differ among themselves not only the sizes, a color, but also food type.
Food of animals
In fauna there are various power-supply circuits. There are types which eat exclusively vegetable food, they are herbivorous. For example, the usual diet of a hare is a juicy grass, sprouts of plants and bark of trees. Bees are fed with pollen and nectar from flowers.Predatory animals whom wolves, tigers, lions, owls and even ladybugs treat in the course of hunting for live production receive the food. As a forage for predators large mammals, rodents, various small animals, bird's eggs, drop can serve. There are in the nature also such animals who with success eat vegetable food together with meat of other animals. Therefore they are also called omnivorous.
What animals treat omnivorous?
The brown bear in warm season finds various edible fruits, berries, nuts in the forest. But the poor vegetable diet is insufficient for it, it not against to complement it with small rodents, some species of insects, eggs of birds. After hibernation the bear wakes up lean and hungry, and vegetable food still is not enough therefore he is forced to act as a predator, attacking deer and a livestock. Wild boars have a varied menu, eating fruits, seeds and stalks of plants, their rhizomes, mushrooms, nuts, bulbs, lichens. Also they wish to regale on small rodents, worms, snakes, frogs, snails, larvae of insects, lizards. Very difficult boars should survive in the winter. They look for food under snow, surveying fields and kitchen gardens. In the summer wild pigs adore bathing in reservoirs, well and quickly swim. The hedgehog for winter time falls into hibernation, comfortably settling in the nest which is in advance prepared in the earth. If he did not save up a necessary reserve of fat, can not live till spring. Usually in April the hedgehog gets out of the shelter. At this time he is very gluttonous, the eaten forage is equal 1/3 weights of the most animal. Eats fruit, berries, acorns and mushrooms. As it is not surprising, but hedgehogs quickly run, perfectly swim and climb trees. It helps them to get earthworms, slugs, insects and their larvae, snails, kivsyak. In house conditions the hedgehogs will not refuse meat, bread and eggs. The badger lives in a hole, for the winter period falling into hibernation. It is active day at night, hunting frogs, earthworms, insects, lizards, birds and also small rodents. Eats nuts, mushrooms, a juicy grass and ripe berries. By fall not bad is eaten off and stocks up with fat which helps to worry winter. Besides, also cockroaches, a chimpanzee, ostriches, raccoons-poloskuny, gray cranes, giant lizards, warthogs treat omnivores.
